## DESCRIPTION

         Prep strips off most of the troff commands from  a  text  file  and  then
         outputs  all the words, one word per line, in the order they occur in the
         file.  This file can then be sorted and compared to a  dictionary  (as  a
         spelling checker), or used for statistical analyses.
